The Second National Criminal Court of Appeals annulled the preventive detention order that weighed on Nicanor Boluarte, the fugitive brother of President Dina Boluarte, for the Los Waykis en la Sombra case.
The resolution also applies to the rest of those investigated: Jorge Luis Marreros, Zenovia Herrera and Jorge Chingay Salazar.
The court, which varied the prison term for appearance with restrictions, followed the line of the Fifth Criminal Appeals Chamber that last December released Mateo Castañeda, former lawyer of the Boluartes.
Castañeda was serving preventive detention in the same case. The judges agreed that the modifications made by Congress to the Organized Crime Law raised the standards for identifying a criminal network and its members.
Under these parameters, it is considered a criminal organization when this group commits crimes to achieve economic objectives.
The Prosecutor’s Office accuses Nicanor Boluarte of having influenced the Ministry of the Interior to appoint prefects and sub-prefects who, spread throughout the country, dedicated themselves to obtaining signatures and thus establishing the Ciudadanos por el Perú party.
